> It seems that the {{DefaultIndexingContext.indexSearcher}} is null, for whatever reason, and {{searchFlatPaged}} is not verifying that it has been passed a valid context and does not attempt to fix an invalid context, perhaps using {{openAndWarmupReaders}}.
> Probably the caller is at fault for attempting a search on a context with no valid index, but this ought to be reported more clearly than with an NPE several calls down the stack, and there should be some documented method for checking that a context is somehow complete and ready for use.
